Judging from the past, although only Liam Neeson in the crew really entered the first-tier ranks in the future, the other few, in the past ten years, can be said to be relatively outstanding among the second-tier ranks.⊙,

According to the crew's settings, the film is divided into three lines, the two main lines are policemen Michael and James, as well as robbers Larry Eugene Phillips and Emil Deckbar Matasalino, Liam Neeson, Don Chandel, Jason Statham and Gerald Butler, four of them, and then Katherine and his daughter on the sideline...

The name of the man who plays this mother and daughter is not unfamiliar to Duke. The actor who plays his daughter is Allen Page. However, from the fact that the other party is still young, it is impossible to tell whether he is the one in his memory.

The person who plays her thirty-year-old mother may have an extremely average reputation and status in Hollywood in the future, but like a certain Asian queen, she is famous in the East. Katherine Bechensa from the UK, changed to American name, Kate Beckinsale.

Of course, Duke doesn't find anything surprising about such a cast. In fact, you can often see a lot of familiar faces when watching some Hollywood movies, as well as some plays on Outside Broadway and even Outside Broadway.

For example, Duke remembers that when he was a child, Natalie Portman served as a substitute for Britney Spears's opera. Finally, he ended up getting Britney away, but Christina Ritchie snatched her chance to appear.

Hollywood stars, especially those who are child stars, may not even remember how many stars they have had before they become famous.

In a busy situation, more than half of September passed. After confirming the actors of "Hundred Thousand Urgents", Duke forced all the main actors to stay in Wellington for preparations and conduct preliminary rehearsals, such as Liam Neeson, Don Chandall, Jason Statham and Gerald Butler, and others, and must also receive a series of training such as firearms.

Compared to the "Lord of the Rings" crew next door and the completed "The Matrix", the training received by Liam Neeson and others is much simpler.

They just conduct some simple training in gun-carrying, shooting, police terms, etc., even Liam Neeson, the oldest among them, would not find it difficult to train.

"I have a headache about literary opera compared to training."

With Duke standing on the studio watching two bandits learn to use the AK rifle, Liam Neeson said, "I feel it's even more difficult for the literary drama to communicate with my daughter."

Duke withdrew his gaze from Jason Statham and Gerald Butler, and curiously looked at the old actor who was a little taller than him.

"A smart and capable policeman has a rebellious daughter who is in urgent need of quitting drug addiction."

Recalling the character setting in the script, Liam Neeson spread his hands and said, "The relationship between father and daughter is extremely tense. It may break down at any time. This experience is indeed a bit unique."

"Liam, in Hollywood, behind every successful hero..."

With his hands crossed his chest, Duke's eyes turned back to the training ground in the studio, "There will always be a failed family."

Liam Neeson is a Hollywood veteran, and said clearly, "Then the hero uses his actions to save his career and regain his family and affection."

"That's right." Duke laughed. "There is an emotion that can resonate with everyone, family and family."

After saying a few more words, Liam Neeson looked at his watch and said goodbye, "I made an appointment with a father who has a history of drug use. Maybe he can help me."

Duke nodded at him with approval.

People outside the circle see the Hollywood stars and their drunkenness. How many people know the efforts they have made behind their backs?

Not to mention the famous dedicated actors like Liam Neeson, even Jennifer Love Hewitt, who played his daughter, found a relationship through the crew after getting the character script. He frequently went to a drug rehabilitation agency in the suburbs of Wellington to communicate with young girls there.

In the afternoon, Duke also left the set and took John Schwartzman, Hannah Selena, and producer Dario Moon to several locations in the western suburbs of Wellington to conduct field trips for the upcoming shooting.

Because it is to be shot in Wellington, several typical main scenes of the film will be shot on the open-air set. The most important thing is the scenes in front of Bank of America. There are several places where it is not easy to build scenes. Green screen shots will be taken, and the background will be replaced during post-production.

With the development of gi technology, the cost of green screen technology is constantly declining. Apart from gun battle scenes, this film does not use many special effects technology.

"John, while filming the outdoor scene."

Standing on the side of the road where the car was parked, Duke looked at this typical Western-style house and various signs representing Wellington on both sides, and said to his photography guide, "Try to take close-up shots, not panoramic shots, our budget is limited."

"I understand." John Schwartzman nodded.

After inspecting two residential areas and three main roads, Duke and others left the western suburbs of Wellington and returned to the set.

They have seen it several times before. After this time, they have completely determined the location. Duke, John Schwartzman and Hannah Serena exchanged views on this, especially the places where the setting needs to be re-scene. Hannah Serena needs to change the design according to Duke's requirements.

Back on the set, Duke rushed to a studio on the "Lord of the Rings" crew to check the progress of the actors' training that had already begun.

At this stage, the main participants in the training are Vigo Motson, Sean Davis, Orlando Bloom and other members of the Ring Protection Team, as well as their stunt stand-in. The main subjects of training are horse riding, physical fitness, running, swordsmanship and archery.

According to Duke's plan and actual preparation progress, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will not start filming until April or May next year. At present, most of the main actors and stunt actors have been confirmed, but others will not join the group until the filming is about to start.

Some actors have other film appointments, such as Ian McLean who plays Gandalf, and also took over the role of Magneto in "The Men" by Twentieth Century Fox.

Although he often communicated with these main actors, Duke did not interrupt their training and found the deputy director Anna Prinz who was in charge of this.

"How are the stunt actors looking for?"

Hearing Duke's words, Anna Prinz immediately replied, "Charles' assistant contacted four dwarf actors from the circus. Judging from the photos sent, they should meet the requirements of Frodo, Sam, Mellie and Pipin."

Duke nodded and reminded him, "I will be notified as soon as they arrive."

Many technologies such as misaligned shooting can achieve the difference in height of actors in the camera, but in some scenes without clear shots, using actors with similar heights to the Hobbit can save time and effort.

Standing here and watching the actors' training for a while, Duke asked Jamie Carter, who was training Orlando Bloom alone to shoot archery.

Duke thought for a moment and said, "Jimmy, can you make appropriate adjustments to archery based on rationality?"

"Adjustment?" Jamie Carter asked, "At this stage Orlando mainly practices posture and accuracy."

"Accuracy doesn't matter." Duke waved his hand, "The effect of the bow and arrow relies on editing and special effects. The props use soft bows without force. What I need is that Legolas's archery posture is handsome enough. Whenever he draws the bow, it can cause all the girls in the theater to scream."

"I understand." Jimmy Carter said confidently, "Don't worry, I will re-engineer."

As the sun sets and the busy day ends, the work of the two films intersects, making Duke feel a little confused. He walks to the small parking lot at the entrance of the set to pick up his car, starts and drives out of the set, and drives to the hotel he checks in.

The villa he bought is still being renovated and it will take some time to move there.

The hotel is not far from the set, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk at best. It is surrounded by a tourist area with relatively good security in Wellington. When Duke drove past the road, he could see many members of the crew walking towards the hotel.

The car was not far away, and Duke saw another familiar back appearing in front of him.

This is an actress on the crew. She is wearing a white short top, with tight-fitting dark blue jeans and black strapped boots. Her long brown curly hair is scattered behind her head, and occasionally flutters in the wind.

She is tall and slender, with her legs not only straight, but also amazing length. Even if she only looks at her back, it is enough to suppress the brilliant spring scenery of Wellington at the end of September.

Duke slowed down and when the car slowly approached, he pressed the horn. The tall girl on the sidewalk immediately turned around and looked here. Duke waved to her through the front windshield, then stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped not far away from her.

"Hi, Kate."

The two of them have communicated with roles these days, and they are familiar with each other. Duke reached out to open the passenger door and said, "Get on the bus, I'll take you all the way."

Kate Beckinsale hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Duke's sincere and persistent look, he nodded slightly, got into the car, and sat in the passenger seat.

She said while tying her seat belt, "Thank you, Director Rosenberg."

"You're welcome." Duke started the car again, and the car gradually accelerated. He glanced over there, "Just call me Duke."

Since the distance is not far, the car drove into the hotel parking lot a few minutes later. The two walked into the hotel and stood there waiting for the elevator. Duke asked tentatively, "Can you invite you to have supper?" (To be continued...)
